Package: dosfstools Followup-For: Bug #299819 Hello,
since like 3.0 there is no disk geometry on Linux anymore. Linux just ignores gemoetry on any drive that goes through SCSI emulation and uses LBA gemotery. If your disk is too small and you care about geometry you are out of luck. You need another OS then. Inability to read geometry does not impair mkfs operation in the slightest. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (910, 'testing'), (900, 'stable'), (610, 'oldstable'), (500, 'testing'), (410, 'unstable'), (200, 'experimental'), (150, 'precise-updates'), (150, 'precise-security'), (150, 'precise') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.9-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages dosfstools depends on: ii libc6 2.17-3 dosfstools recommends no packages. dosfstools suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
